Hotels in Aichi, Japan
Aichi is a prefecture in central Japan with a humid subtropical climate, featuring hot, humid summers and mild winters. Famous for the Toyota automotive headquarters and Nagoya Castle, a 17th-century fortress rebuilt after WWII, you can tour the Toyota Commemorative Museum in Nagoya year-round or visit the castle's golden shachihoko ornaments. Spring (March to May) brings cherry blossoms at Nagoya's Tsuruma Park, while winter (December to February) offers cozy indoor activities like sampling hitsumabushi (grilled eel over rice) at local restaurants. For a change of pace, head to Inuyama Castle, one of Japan's original 12 castles, just north of Nagoya.
